I thought your post was interesting because I love optical illusions. I like to try to figure out how my mind is tricking me before I am given the answer. My favorite type of optical illusion is the one that makes you look at a moving screen for a certain amount of time and then look away to see stationary things moving. I like how the video explains how the brain processes the information because it gave me an insight on how the illusion tricks the mind.

Perception

The psychology of Perception involves the interaction of our senses and our conscious mind. Perception is involved in every aspect of our lives as we make decisions and judgments based on what we experience. If you study diligently you will leave this course with a broad understanding of sensation and perception. From this general understanding you will be able to further investigate areas of interest by means of literature review and research on specific topics.
